Sure it looked like he was in the right for every video but as i said before, he has made the rounds more then once on various platforms. He has a nasty habbit of setting these situations up with extremely poor driving and attitude. More then once he has nearly caused a wreck and there were videos he has posted where he intentionally drove people off the road, cut them off or tailgated them within inches of the bumper.
Then there is the extreme road rage and flying off the handle. It gives all of us a bad name and just compounds the agressive driving he does. Take when he came up behind that amazon guy. Instead of seeing the blinker and defensivly driving by either slowing down or being ready to move over if nessesary he sped up and when the guy merged got right on his tail then laid on the horn. Something that has all kind of potential to end poorly. He is going to kill someone(s) eventually and i hope its just himself instead of a van full of kidsGearjammin' Penguin, Trucker61016, kylefitzy and 9 others Thank this. -
Road Rage is a serious issue. Angry drivers are loosing their lives constantly.
As a professional driver our responsibility is to safely relocate freight.
Not to teach others how to behave in an aggressive manner.
He can record, report and present videos for educational purposes all year long.
His reactions are out of control. He has mental issues. He shouldn't drive anything.Bean Jr., dwells40, Flat Earth Trucker and 6 others Thank this. -

I didn't get in the truck driving school until I passed a psychological evaluation.
EI paid for my training many years ago. They wanted to know:
Am I in my new carrier for the long haul? Too many people were just quitting after training.
Am I going to be a major liability from a mental sanity perspective?
60 short questions. 4 choices each. No wrong answers. To show your compatibility.
I scored 92%. I got in and I got the training. And I still love to safely drive a big rig even today.
At least until AI would replace me and I would be discarded as obsolete. -
You see these memes in the Facebook trucking groups: you'll run over every one if these cones before I'll let you in because you saw that merge sign 2 miles ago!
I ain't got time to play those games! Hit somebody trying to merge because you want to save a truck length? Now deal with the lost time of an accident report and the insurance company saying "this was preventable!" Who has time for that? I look at the bigger picture. A little courtesy goes a long way.Last edited: Apr 18, 2022

That’s called being a professional. If everyone will just calm down we’ll all get there safely. Cars will pull out in front and someone will cut you off. As a professional it’s my job to be prepared for it. Defensive driving is taught in every school and employer for about the last 40 years now.Gearjammin' Penguin, God prefers Diesels, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this.

Exactly! I've got no time to deal with consequences of fighting them. I leave a little space, and if somebody tries to take it I turn it into a bigger space. In the end it costs nothing.

When I'm out on the road I represent a corporation.
And myself. Everything I do it's noted. And my goal is to leave a positive mark.
It'll benefit everyone. Including me.
It's not that hard to understand.
I don't interject my ego or my personal feelings in the commercial driving.
Never.D.Tibbitt, God prefers Diesels, bzinger and 2 others Thank this.
